Before submitting a bug report, or e-mail us, please read this thingy, chances are good
your answer is here.

Q. How do I install the game?
A. Just unzip it wherever you want. Make sure to extract the files with directory information.

Q. The game doesn't work under Linux, why?
A. The game should work under Linux. If it doesn't, make sure you have SDL and SDL_net libraries
   installed. If you don't, then go to www.libsdl.org and download/install them.

Q. Is it necessary to have a 3D card, to play this game? Or is software acceleration good 
   enough?
A. A 3D card IS needed. It might work in software too (if you have a software OpenGL driver, 
   such as Mesa), but it will be veeeeery slow.

Q. This game is running TOO slow, about 0-3 FPS, and I am using Windows. WTF is wrong?
A. Assuming you DO have a hardware accelerated video card, and a semi decent computer (PII or
   higher), this problem is usually given by using a 16 BPP mode, and having the shadows 
   turned on. Please edit the file el.ini and either use a 32 BPP video mode, or turn the 
   shadows off. If you are using the windowed mode, and your windows color deepth is 16,
   use a 24/32 BPP. Or, turn the shadows off.
   Anyway, the program should automatically detect if the frame rate is too low, and turn off
   the shadows, if necessary.
   
Q. This game is running TOO slow, about 0-3 FPS, and I am using Linux. WTF is wrong?
A. Check the previous answer. In addition, some Linux distributions ships, by default, without
   any 3D drivers, so you will have to install them by yourself. If this is the case, go to
   your video board manufacturer web site, and download the Linux 3D drivers.
   
Q. The shadows option, on the menu, looks like a broken gem. Why can't I have shadows?
A. This problem usually appears under Linux, but it might appear on Windows too. Basically,
   our shadows NEED a stencil buffer. Now, some video boards, or some video modes do NOT have
   a stencil buffer. Usually, Windows gives us a stencil buffer, if we request one, even if it
   is not hardware accelerated (that is veeeeery slow). Some Linux drivers, on the other hand,
   will NOT do that, and, instead, they will complain that they can't create a video context.
   If this is the case, then the graphic engine requests a video context without a stencil 
   buffer. Anyway, if this happens on Linux, it is most likely because you are running X in a
   16 BPP mode. To avoid this, set X to use either 24 or 32 BPP.
   
Q. Why does the Music and Sound, on the menu, look like a broken gem?
A. This happens if, for some reason, the sound couldn't be initialised (no sound board, no
   sound drivers, audio in use, etc.) On some Linux systems (I found it on RH 8.1, running KDE),
   if there is a sound server started, the audio can't be initialised. So, if this problem
   occures, disable the sound server.
   

Q. I am a cute, fluffy, pink, innocent 12 years old girl, and I am very offended by words such
   as: fuck, shit, dick, ass, etc. Is there any way I can filter them out?
A. Not yet, but we will make, soon, a file where you can put all the words you don't want to
   see, and they will be filtered out. The server will filter nothing, only the client will 
   do that.
   
Q. UR SO MEAN CUZ U MAEK FUN OF LITLE GIRLS LIEK ME! I WILL TELL MY MOM!
A. K

Q. Is there any storyline behind this game?
A. No, but if you like to write fiction, and you come out with a good story, feel free to
   send it to us, we might publish it on the site :)

Q. I like this game, and I would like to help you guys. How can I do that?
A. Well, there are MANY ways to help. Here are a few of them:
   1. Donate us some money. We are only two people, working at this game, full time, so, until
      this game will get us some money, we have no source of income. Any donation is welcome.
   2. We need bandwidth. If you can provide us with a web mirror, for the download, please 
      tell us. If you have a sever of your own, with a lot of bandwidth, and you don't care 
      too much for the traffic, and you would like to host a game server, please tell us.
   
Q. I found a bug, what should I do?
A. Go to the forums, in the community page, and report it, in the bugs section.

Q. Will the game be always free?
A. Yes. However, we also offer some paid services, such as a new races, and other things we will implement later on.
